Show Greatest danger during bomb -score was traffic gridlock New Utah - Thursday, February 26, 2004 - Page 5 By Cathy Allred Lehi Junior High School Irincipal Kevin Cox opened v i handwritten letter at ipproximately 7:30 a.m. on c i'eb. 19. The note stated that ritbin the next 48 hours a S lomb would go off at the Hchool. j Within less than four lours, Lehi law enforcement ad the 13-year-old suspect n custody for questioning. The apparent motive """ehind the hoax, according ' o LPD Officer Jeff Swenson, ras that she was upset with Aijjhe faculty, students and chool administration.

Police and school admin- stration would soon find out hat the biggest danger to he approximately 1,750 stu-f stu-f ents was not the possibility 5: , f a bomb, but the great -. aflux of traffic as 500 par- nts from throughout the Tea swarmed in to pick up heir children. The evacuation was jrganized and began shortly fter at 8 a.m. The Utah County Sheriffs Sher-iffs Office was called in with its Bomb Squad and what officers refer to as the squad's two "Bomb Dogs" began sweeping the building, build-ing, the satellite and trailers for bombs. As the students were being evacuated, Lehi High School principal Sheldon Worthington received a call notifying him of the evacuation evacua-tion to his campus. "That's how much time we had to prepare," Worthington Wor-thington said and smiled. "We didn't have any idea how many parents would show up. This was a many-tentacled many-tentacled monster that grew as it went along." They originally set up a process to handle the 50 parents par-ents they expected to arrive to pick up their children, when in fact 500 arrived. "We had parents here before the kids got here," he said. At no time did the school district, schools, PTA or other organization administration adminis-tration give the order for parents to come pick up their students. Parents heard about the evacuation through cell phones borrowed from students' stu-dents' friends and teachers, and they arrived from work, from their homes and other locations to pick up their children. American Fork police were called in to assist with directing the influx of traffic and to act as backup while the Utah County Sheriffs Office Bomb Squad with its bomb dogs secured the junior jun-ior high school. Less than a third of the LJHS students were eventually eventu-ally checked out of school. Some parents brought their students back to class after the junior high campus was cleared by police at 10:31 a.m. Only one injury occurred during the three-hour ordeal. LJHS teacher Sally Taggart fell on some ice during dur-ing the walk to the high school and broke her ankle. While the student body was waiting in the LHS gyms, two students had anxiety attacks. The school district medical team and Lehi EMS were on hand to administer first aid treatment. "One of the biggest things we learned is that when parents par-ents know their child is in a safe and secure location, one of the best things they can do is to let the local authorities authori-ties handle the situation," said Worthington. "The most dangerous thing that happened as a result of the bomb threat was the gridlock that occurred when parents came in mass to pick up their children. chil-dren. "There was a much greater danger outside of the school than there was for the students in the gym." rYouth artists schedule show ation i Utah cuadoi.
